Jerry’s Strange Thoughts on Fatherhood

I’ve been saying it ever since Rebecca Romijn announced that she was pregnant – this pregnancy is just downright weird! It started with her saying one day that she and Jerry O’Connell were trying and then the next day announcing the pregnancy and it just got weirder from there. Now I don’t care how good you or your fertility drugs are, it just don’t happen that fast. Even if she found out she was pregnant right after the first announcement, uh-uh. She had to have been at least two months pregnant and someone who was trying would be right on top of that kind of information. It just doesn’t add up.

But away from my rant and onto the next strangest step that this pregnancy has taken. This one may not be strange as much as it is just plain stupid. Jerry has spoken in interviews how overprotective he’s already being as a dad and although I can understand that, the way he phrases it just doesn’t make sense. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Just the fact that they’re girls, you know?” He then added, “I don’t want them to date. They’re only allowed to date men who run countries. They’re only allowed to date men who are heir to throne or are currently running a nation.

She’s (Rebecca’s) doing great! She has a hearty appetite right now! [She craves] soy cream he said. “Don’t ask me why. She asked for soy cream cheese and I brought back regular cream cheese and I was like ‘Cream cheese is cream cheese’ and she’s like, ‘No it isn’t. You’ve got to get the soy stuff’.” And he joked: “When it’s meal time, you better make sure that the meal is ready or it’s ready to go, or it’s there, because when mama’s hungry, mama’s hungry!”

See, I don’t understand why men who rule nations are okay for his daughters to date but not anyone else? Have politicians proven themselves so honorable and trustworthy that Jerry thinks these are the only men worthy of his daughters? Or does he only want his daughters to date rich men? Once again, he has left me thoroughly confused.
